Hate being the "big" girl....
So I'm kinda being an AW and whiney but who cares it's Monday.
I hate skinny girls (ok hate is a strong word...I really dislike skinny girls). I'll be 11 weeks Wednesday and I can't tell if I'm feeling baby or fat...haha. When can I start telling if its baby or not.... will it get harder and more "round"? I just want to be one of those skinny girls where BAM there is a bump...I know that its not over my pelvis bone yet...but I'm sad it'll take awhile for me to feel and see it...
Sorry rant over.
Re: Hate being the "big" girl....
Some skinny girls don't get bumps right away either. I have a friend who is 21 weeks pregnant and she doesn't even look like it. You would never believe she was until you see the u/s pictures.
I know the feeling of wanting to see a bump, but relax and you'll get there. Enjoy your pregnancy while it lasts because once the baby is here you'll probably miss it very much. (Just speaking from experience).
I am not a skinny mini by any means, but I started noticing a more "round" me around 15-16 weeks and it wasn't a full blown bump until 20.

Thanks Cheezus....and to everyone else...I know I'm only 11 weeks and I know I won't be showing for quite some time...I am inpatient...and I need to slow down a bit and enjoy everything. And sorry if I offended anyone who is a thinner person....I know everyone starts showing at different times....I apologize. I just need to slow my horses down...I guess it was more of a vent than anything.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this post was just a bit odd. OP, I get that you're excited. I compare myself to other people's pregnancies, too. I have only had a few things that could even possibly be movement by the baby, and other girls on my BMB, behind me, have already had their husband/SO feel the baby move. But just chill. Your bump will come and then you will be cursing out that you have no clothes that you can fit into.
And I do find that a lot of your posts are about you being a bigger girl. Or it becomes a big girl vs. thin girl thing. Just stop comparing yourself in general to other people and enjoy your figure and your pregnancy.

I love that the illustrator found it necessary to show her lying in bed with a blanket and pillow. And a t-shirt. Ha!
OP, try not to worry so much about showing. It's exciting and I can understand the impatience, but you'll get there. Like PPs have said, being skinny doesn't necessarily mean you show any sooner.

Yeah, I didn't really look anything other than fat to myself until about 17w, my family and friends a few weeks later and I still don't think it's clear to strangers.
I did start feeling a hard ball when I slept face down about 11-12 weeks and had to quit.

I am also plus sized. I will be 18 weeks tomorrow. To me, I can see a difference (my pants haven't fit in weeks). To people who know I am PG, they can tell a little (depending on what I am wearing). The general public cannot.
Frankly, I am just enjoying this stage. I can feel the baby a couple times a day now, which is probably *the* most exciting thing ever.
I also enjoy that it is not obvious to the general public. I know that at that point I will be subject to questions and comments from strangers, which is just plain awkward.
When you've been married this long, you need a ticker to remind you.
